From the Wikipedia article
The Cedars is a large detached house in Sunninghill, Berkshire. It is two storeys in height, painted white render and has a hipped slate roof. The house has a roughly rectangular plan. It was initially built in the early 19th century and subsequently expanded. A large conservatory was added in the 20th century; this was the site of an indoor swimming pool in the 1990s. It has been listed Grade II on the National Heritage List for England since March 1972. It is named for the prominent cedar trees in its grounds. A stream runs through the grounds. A thatched mock dairy building in the Gothic Revival style with stained-glass windows stands in the garden. It is also listed Grade II.
